DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
[Docket No. FAA–2023–2327]

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of
Information Collection: Unmanned
Aircraft Remote Identification Message
Elements
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. The collection involves
electronic information that is broadcast
directly from certain unmanned aircraft,
specifically standard remote
identification unmanned aircraft and
unmanned aircraft equipped with a
remote identification broadcast module.
With certain limited exceptions, the
Remote Identification of Unmanned
Aircraft rule prohibits the operation of
unmanned aircraft within the airspace
of the United States unless the
unmanned aircraft are broadcasting
certain remote identification message
elements throughout their operation. An
exception to the general rule is when an
unmanned aircraft is not equipped with
remote identification equipment but is
operated within visual line of sight and
within an FAA-recognized
identification area.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by January 22, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Please send written
comments:
By Electronic Docket:
www.regulations.gov (Enter docket
number into search field).

Standards Service, Emerging
Technologies Division, AFS–700, 800

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120–0783.
Title: Unmanned Aircraft Remote
Identification Message Elements.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: Regulations for the
Remote Identification of Unmanned
Aircraft were published on January 15,
2021, and are contained in 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 89.
Requirements for the operation of
unmanned aircraft with remote
identification are contained in part 89,
subpart B. The Remote Identification
rule requires unmanned aircraft with
remote identification equipment to
broadcast remote identification message
elements directly from the unmanned
aircraft using radio frequency spectrum
in accordance with 47 CFR part 15,
where operations may occur without a
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) individual license. These
unmanned aircraft include standard
remote identification unmanned aircraft
and unmanned aircraft equipped with
remote identification broadcast
modules.
A standard remote identification
unmanned aircraft must be capable of
broadcasting the following remote
identification message elements:
(a) The identity of the unmanned
aircraft consisting of:
(1) A serial number assigned to the
unmanned aircraft by the person
responsible for the production of the
standard remote identification
unmanned aircraft; or
(2) A session ID.
(b) An indication of the latitude and
longitude of the control station.
(c) An indication of the geometric
altitude of the control station.
(d) An indication of the latitude and
longitude of the unmanned aircraft.
(e) An indication of the geometric
altitude of the unmanned aircraft.
(f) An indication of the velocity of the
unmanned aircraft.
(g) A time mark identifying the
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time
of applicability of a position source
output.
(g) An indication of the emergency
status of the unmanned aircraft.
A remote identification broadcast
module must be capable of broadcasting
the following remote identification
message elements:

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 22, 2023 / Notices
(a) The identity of the unmanned
aircraft consisting of the serial number
assigned to the remote identification
broadcast module by the person
responsible for the production of the
remote identification broadcast module.
(b) An indication of the latitude and
longitude of the unmanned aircraft.
(c) An indication of the geometric
altitude of the unmanned aircraft.
(d) An indication of the velocity of the
unmanned aircraft.
(e) An indication of the latitude and
longitude of the take-off location of the
unmanned aircraft.
(f) An indication of the geometric
altitude of the take-off location of the
unmanned aircraft.
(g) A time mark identifying the
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time
of applicability of a position source
output.
The collection of this information in
the remote identification message
elements is necessary to comply with
the FAA’s statutory requirement to
develop and implement standards for
remotely identifying operators and
owners of unmanned aircraft. The
collection of this information will also
provide airspace awareness to enable
the FAA, national security agencies, and
law enforcement entities to distinguish
compliant airspace users from those
potentially posing a safety or security
risk.
The remote identification message
elements that unmanned aircraft
operators are required to broadcast
under Part 89 are considered publicly
available information. The remote
identification message elements
broadcast directly from the unmanned
can be received by anyone who has the
appropriate equipment, such as a
personal wireless device, that can
receive broadcast messages.
Respondents: The collection of
information through the broadcasting of
message elements from a standard
remote identification unmanned aircraft
or remote identification broadcast
module is entirely automatic. The
collection uses automated, electronic,
and related technological collection
techniques. This framework makes it
relatively simple and straightforward for
individuals to comply with the
broadcast requirements by operating
unmanned aircraft that are standard
remote identification unmanned aircraft
or unmanned aircraft equipped with a
remote identification broadcast module.
Frequency: Operators of unmanned
aircraft with remote identification are
required to broadcast the remote
identification message elements
addressed in this information collection
on occasion (when the unmanned

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001

aircraft with remote identification is
operated in the airspace of the United
States).
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: To transmit remote
identification message elements, each
remote pilot is required to operate either
a standard remote identification
unmanned aircraft or unmanned aircraft
equipped with a remote identification
broadcast module. The collection of
information through the broadcasting of
the remote identification message
elements is entirely automatic, therefore
there is no average burden associated
with the broadcast of the remote
identification message elements.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
collection of information through the
broadcasting of the remote identification
message elements is entirely automatic,
therefore there is no annual burden
associated with the broadcast of the
remote identification message elements.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November
17, 2023.

Manager, Emerging Technologies Division,
